Celebrities with Cancer

Surfing the Web the other day we came across a list that stopped us in our tracks.

It's
a listing over 150 well known celebrities and public figures
who have been diagnosed with cancer. It's one long, saddening, and
gut-wrenching list of names in black and white.
The list was compiled by Mark Kantrowitz, a
testicular cancer survivor.

Mark's list
hit us hard because it is just another reminder that cancer affects all
of us. Cancer does not respect fame and fortune. Cancer is something
that we must all work together to overcome and fight. Because the sad
truth is, the list we stumbled upon is just a symbolic reminder that
there are millions of people who have been and will be impacted by this disease.

By
working together we can make progress and find a cure. By sharing
health wisdom, motivational stories, practical tips, and new
information we can find solutions. Join us in our mission to share and
make health wisdom easily available to all.
